1. Vertical Iron Piping Paper Towel Holder

Just look at this industrial-looking DIY paper towel holder. It exudes a rugged look, right? This idea from Itsy Bits and Pieces uses galvanized iron pipes and fittings, which you should be able to find in the plumbing aisle of your local hardware store.

You can see in the picture how it doesn’t take up any space in the kitchen, instead maximizing the kitchen space by using the cabinet wall. With this holder, the paper towels are more accessible, it is easier to change the roll and it looks great.
